| Okay, I hope I can explain this right. I changed my tires on my bike last weekend. I had to disconnect the shifter piece that comes out of the back tire (sorry, I don't know the proper terms) When I was done with everything, the shifter cable that connects to the shifter on the handlebar has fallen out. Can I fix this somehow? by: 68.106.19.243 |
| Explain more. Is the "indicator chain" still in the hub of the rear wheel (the little chain w/a screw on the end of it)? Is the threaded ferrule on the end of the cable that would screw onto the indicator chain still on the end of the cable? Is the handlebar end of the cable still in place in the trigger? If the cable has fallen out of the trigger, is the cable broken off or does it still have its end fitting? Try looking at some of the diagrams on this site to pick out the terms describing your situation. Or post some photos. by: 216.15.114.27 |

| If the cable still has its end fitting (and it and the trigger are not broken)....it should slot back into position, it can be a bit fiddly if you've not done it before....you just say to it "you're just a piece of wire and I'm a human being, now get into position and stop messing me around....or else" ! Just seems a little strange that disconnecting the adjuster chain at the rear should affect anything at the other end of the cable ! There are one or two different Sturmey Archer trigger models, but the basic function is the same....yes, a nice BIG clear photo of the trigger (and cable end fitting) is required.

| I am still working on a pic. Have been so busy! When you say that the end fitting should slot back into position, what position is that? Is the end fitting visible when it is on place? by: 68.106.19.243 |
